Effect of a finite quark mass on the deconfinement temperature as calculated in dual QCD

Abstract

We calculate, to lowest order, the contribution of quark loops to the finite-temperature vacuum energy density. From this, in the high-temperature approximation, we obtain the dual QCD deconfinement transition temperature as a function of the input quark mass.
